Vivoactive 4 battery draining faster on all watch faces showing seconds since SW 6.90?

Hello,

is it just me or do watch faces showing seconds or Heart rate drain the battery faster than before?

I use a Vivoactive 4 on the current 6.90 software version. Already tried a factory reset.

On more recent watches this shouldn't be a big issue anymore as in the old times and also on the VA4, the default watchface feature display of seconds.

Mine is doing that as well. Va4s 100% charged then it shuts off or battery dies after 5hrs max. Love my watch but this is just frustrating.

I have one face on it. The simplest one. No widgets. I did a reset and also changed the backlight. Not sure what else to do. I did uninstall the connect app as well.

I have 6.90 on my VA4S, and my watch face is showing seconds. I have not noticed any reduced battery life.

This has been a new thing just recently (last few days) I have owned this model for over a year now and no issues prior. As soon as I unplug it from charging it works for a few seconds then shows the triangle. As if it is dead.
